Selling a barely used OJ 945 prop, I got this prop to try out last year and used it for about a month and half and didn't really love it for the weight I was running and then winterized the boat and the dealership was supposed to return the prop but then forgot about it and it was too late to return it so now I've been stuck with it. I had kept it as a backup just in case and never ended up needing it and now I want to try and ACME 3065 and want to sell this one. It's in excellent condition, maybe used about 8 trips out.

So it's a very long story, but there ended up being a problem with my exhaust manifolds that was causing overheat alarms to go off, PCM tried to blame the prop(stupid, I know) and we've since figured out that wasn't the case, but my engine was running high RPM than it should be with the prop so it didn't work for me. I know there are several on here that run the 945 and theirs work fine and they have lower RPM than I was turning, but it turned out to be an underlying issue with my motor that's not relevant anymore because I swapped out for the 6.0 and the gearing is too low for that prop now.

I was getting good plane times with heavier weight, just the RPM was higher than other 350s with that prop. I know Gibbs on here runs it with great success.
